Nothing except some references. The Midnight Crew never actually APPEARED in PS, they were in a series of non-canon-to-anything donation comics.

HS makes a lot of references and callbacks to PS, but they are in completely different Universes. In fact, the only time the Midnight Crew appeared in PS, it was said to be a non-canon series of events. They originated as characters in a side story that Hussie made when he still made donation funded comics. They became rather popular and appeared in Homestuck. In fact, Hussie briefly considered making a Midnight Crew Adventure instead of Homestuck.

But yeah, the intermissions (if you count Hivebent as an intermission) are completely relevant and canon.

That didn't really sound like a threat. It sounded more like he was treating Jack like a child. "If you can't be responsible with your toys, then I will take them away. Now go find something else to entertain yourself, I have something important to attend to."

And this?

I'm ... not really seeing the threat here. Or at least not a threat of anything Scratch himself is going to do.

Flarecobra · 03-05-2011, 03:21 PM

That's the thing. To me at least, it seemed like he threatened that he would set into motion something things that can end badly for Slick.

Specterbane · 03-05-2011, 03:23 PM

No it seems more like the vaguely villainous things he says about bringing about Lord English than any threat to Jack. And after all Jack's a guest, it wouldn't be very hospitable or gentleman-like to threaten him directly no matter how veiled it was.

IHateMakingNames · 03-05-2011, 03:24 PM

I assumed he was talking about his plan to bring about Lord English.

Loyal · 03-05-2011, 03:50 PM

I think this is after the point where LE has been brought about; One of Slick's intended targets even before he lost his arm/eye was LE, and Scratch seems to be expressing his "I'd like to die now" tendencies.
